IFADAsia has been negelcted for some time now, but a number of people are giving some thought at the moment as to how this internet-based tool can be improved to help improve the performance of investments in rural people in general, and of IFAD-financed investments in particular.

IFAD portal is a user friendly forum for sharing the knowledge, experiences and achievements. Currently, the content is posted and made visible on the site of a specific region. For example, South Asia or Africa etc. I believe that it would be better to post the content on the global page to make it available for everyone.

IFAD Asia is a virtual platform for sharing the knowledge, since the organisation has the network to utilise this unique initiative in a larger and lots more meaningful way. Participatory approach is the fulcrum of sharing, it needs involvement. In the context on IFAD Asia the strategy for coming whole year should be to involve more people from around the globe, every single organisation who is working with IFAD should aware about IFAD Asia and enjoying the joy of sharing. IFAD Asia is a virtual platform needs to support by regular knowledge sharing events, exposure trips and many other programs which will create opportunity to connect people to this virtual platform. IFAD Asia team can draw a year vice strategy to strengthen it. Persons from all partnership organisations should be on board. Knowledge is the core competency of any development program. IFAD Asia has the potential to manage the process of capturing, storing and serve the knowledge to that extent when others can utilise it to improve the performance of investments in rural people in general, and of IFAD-financed investments in particular.
